"You have to face the past before you can let it go."
Joleen (Charlize Theron) loves her 12-year-old daughter Tara (AnnaSophia Robb) and wants to be a good mother, but she doesn't really know how. And she's a wild child still trying to cope with abuse issues from her own childhood.
One day Joleen and Tara show up at the apartment of her brother James (Nick Stahl). James takes them in and tries to help them on his limited income and when Joleen eventually ups and leaves, James is fearful that Tara will be taken away from him, so they hit the road in his old car.
With nowhere else to go, they end up at the farm of James and Joleen's abusive father (Dennis Hopper) and James must decide whether to stay there or spare Tara this tension.
Matthew St. Patrick is the detective who has worried about and tried to help Joleem. Woody Harrelson plays Randall, Joleen's latest boyfriend.
Directed by Bill Maher.
Run Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes
Rated R for language and a scene of violence.
My personal rating: B-
